ZM7127 Study Of A Body Floating Fluid Mechanics Lab Equipment Hydraulic Lab Equipment 1. Overview The device will allow the study of the stability of a body as a floating vessel at the surface
free liquid. It will allow to study the stability of a pontoon fontion height and horizontal position of its center of gravity.
The bench should allow the following educational farms: • Study of the influence of the height of center of gravity • Study of the influence of the horizontal position of the center of gravity • Comparison between experimental measurements • Calculation of the heel angle depending on the position of center of gravity • Research into the behavior of a partially sunken ship. 2. Required Specifications • 1 water tank molded plastic 610 x 406 x 127 mm • 1 pontoon thin sheet metal, rectangular, weighted and equipped with a mast useful Mast height: 266 mm mobile pontoon weight: 200 g; adjustable weight of the mast: 500g
inclination angle: 8°to each side relative to the vertical Graduation by 1/2 degree 1 lead wire connected to a mast
